A dangerous precedent

The outrageous stall tactics employed by Senate Democrats against President Trump’s Cabinet nominations is setting a dangerous precedent for future administrations while depriving our nation’s government agencies of appropriate leadership, right now!Enough is enough. It’s past time to get the president’s Cabinet in place and begin moving the country forward. Help Liberty Counsel Action break down the barriers by faxing the Senate with a powerful message to end the gridlock and confirm the cabinet members!

President Donald Trump recently tweeted “It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of our country.”

The Washington Free Beacon similarly reported:

“Not since President George Washington’s initial formation of a cabinet in 1789 has an American president’s cabinet picks been approved as slowly as the Senate is approving President Donald Trump’s nominees.”

“Recent administrations have had many more nominees approved at the three-week mark. Barack Obama had 12 out of 15 nominees approved, George W. Bush had his entire cabinet approved, and Bill Clinton had all but one approved in less than a day.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer declared, “We’re using everything we can to stop these awful nominees.” They’ve used delay tactics like using overnight sessions to expend their fully allotted time for debate, they’ve forced meaningless procedural hurdles, and they’ve boycotted several committee meetings to slow the confirmation process.

Senate Democrats are listening to the voices of their radical base who are demanding that lawmakers obstruct every Trump nominee, program, and initiative. Their cry is “RESIST!”

As President Obama once declared, “Elections have consequences.” This is our time following eight tumultuous years of the Obama administration’s reckless policies aimed at the radical transformation of America. Together, we must make our voices louder than theirs.

Now is the time to embolden Senators to overcome the barriers and confirm President Obama’s cabinet nominees in a timely manner.
